Client shall use the Service solely for its internal business purposes and shall not make the Service available to, or use the Service for the benefit of, any third party except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Client shall not (i) sell, transfer, assign, distribute or otherwise commercially exploit or make available to any third party the Services except as expressly set forth herein; (ii) modify or make derivative works based upon the Services; (iii) reverse engineer the Services; (iv) create Internet “links" to or from the Service, or “frame" or “mirror" any content forming part of the Service, other than on Client’s own intranets for its own internal business purposes; (v) remove, obscure or alter any proprietary notices or labels on the Software or any portion of the Service; (vi) use, post, transmit or introduce any device, software or routine (including viruses, worms or other harmful code) which interferes or attempts to interfere with the operation of the Service; or (vii) access the Service for purposes of monitoring Service availability, performance or functionality, or for any other benchmarking or competitive purposes. Client shall not and shall not attempt to access the Cobalt systems programmatically except using the appropriate username and password, and using application programming interface (API) calls permitted by Cobalt from time to time.

Other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Cobalt grants to Client no license or other rights in or to the Service, software or any other proprietary technology, material or information made available to Client through the Service or otherwise in connection with this Agreement (collectively, the “Cobalt Technology"), and all such rights are hereby expressly reserved. Cobalt (or its licensors where applicable) owns all rights, title and interest in and to the Service, and any Cobalt Technology, and all patent, copyright, trade secret and other intellectual property rights (“IP Rights") therein, as well as (i) all feedback and other information (except for the Client Data) provided to Cobalt by Users, Client and contacts, and (ii) all transactional, performance, derivative data and metadata generated in connection with the Services.

As used herein, “Confidential Information" means all information of a Party (“Disclosing Party") disclosed to the other Party (“Receiving Party"), either orally, electronically, in writing, or by inspection of tangible objects (including, without limitation, documents or prototypes), that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information includes without limitation, all Client Data, all Cobalt Technology, and either Party’s business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product designs, reports and business processes. Confidential Information shall not include any information that: (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (iii) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (iv) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party shall not disclose or use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose other than performance or enforcement of this Agreement without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent. Receiving Party shall protect the confidentiality of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event using no less than reasonable care). Receiving Party shall promptly notify Disclosing Party if it becomes aware of any breach of confidentiality of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. If Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information of Disclosing Party, it shall provide Disclosing Party with prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at Disclosing Party’s cost, if Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.

Upon any termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall continue to maintain the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and, upon request and to the extent practicable, destroy all materials containing such Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may retain a copy of any Confidential Information if required by applicable law or regulation, in accordance with internal compliance policy, or pursuant to automatic computer archiving and back-up procedures, subject at all times to the continuing applicability of the provisions of this Agreement.

Cobalt shall provide the Services in accordance with the functionality and specifications set forth on the relevant product/system. Cobalt warrants that it has and will maintain all necessary licences, consents, and permissions necessary for the performance of its obligations under this agreement. Cobalt shall provide 24X7X365 customer support in accordance with its most recently published Support Services Guide available through the Cobalt Administration Panel. To the extent professional services are provided, Cobalt shall perform them in a professional manner consistent with industry standards. THE FOREGOING REPRESENTS THE ONLY WARRANTIES MADE BY COBALT HEREUNDER AND COBALT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

NEITHER COBALT NOR ITS LICENSORS OR SERVICE PROVIDERS WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL OPERATE ERROR FREE OR WITHOUT INTERRUPTION. CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE USE OF SMS SERVICES AND COBALT APPLICATION COMMUNICATIONS, AS A MEANS OF SENDING MESSAGES INVOLVES A REASONABLY LIKELY POSSIBILITY FROM TIME TO TIME OF DELAYED, UNDELIVERED, OR INCOMPLETE MESSAGES AND THAT THE PROCESS OF TRANSMITTING SMS MESSAGES AND COBALT APPLICATION COMMUNICATIONS CAN BE UNRELIABLE AND INCLUDE MULTIPLE THIRD PARTIES THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE TRANSMISSION PROCESS, INCLUDING MOBILE NETWORK OPERATORS AND INTERMEDIARY TRANSMISSION COMPANIES. CLIENT FURTHER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES, AND AGREES THAT IT ASSUMES ALL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH ANY SUCH DELAY, LACK OF DELIVERY OR INCOMPLETENESS.

Cobalt shall defend, indemnify and hold Client harmless from and against any Claim against Client alleging that the Service as contemplated hereunder infringes an issued patent or other IP Right in a country in which the Service is provided to Client.

Cobalt’s obligations under this Section 10 are contingent upon the Client (a) promptly giving notice of the Claim to Cobalt once the Claim is known; (b) giving Cobalt sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (provided that Cobalt may not settle such Claim unless such settlement unconditionally releases the Client of all liability and does not adversely affect the Client’s business or service); and (c) timely providing Cobalt all available information and reasonable assistance. If (x) any aspect of the Service is found or, in Client’s or Cobalt’s reasonable opinion is likely to be found, to infringe upon the IP Right of a third party as specified above, or (y) the continued use of the Service is enjoined, then Cobalt will promptly and at its own cost and expense at the Client’s option: (i) obtain for Client the right to continue using the Service; (ii) modify such aspect of the Service so that it is non-infringing; or (iii) replace such aspect of the Service with a non-infringing functional equivalent. If, after all commercially reasonable efforts, Cobalt determine in good faith that options (i) – (iii) are not feasible, Cobalt will remove the infringing items from the Service and refund to Client on a pro-rata basis any prepaid unused fees paid for such infringing element. Cobalt shall have no obligation or liability for any claim pursuant to this Section to the extent arising from: (i) the combinations, operation, or use of the Service supplied under this Agreement with any product, device, or software not supplied by Cobalt to the extent the combination creates the infringement; (ii) the unauthorized alteration or modification by Client of the Service; or (iii) Cobalt’s compliance with Client’s designs, specifications, requests, or instructions pursuant to an engagement for Cobalt professional services relating to the Service to the extent the claim of infringement is based on the foregoing.

All warranty conditions and other terms implied by statute or common law are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from this Agreement, unless otherwise set out in this Agreement.

Subject to clause 3, neither Party shall be liable for any indirect or consequential damages.

Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or any other liability, which may not properly be limited or excluded by applicable law.

Subject to obligations in clauses 10.2 and 10.3, Client’s aggregate liability under or in connection with this Agreement shall not (whether in tort, contract, breach of statutory duty or otherwise) exceed a sum equal to the amount actually paid by the Client to Cobalt hereunder during the 12 months period prior to the event giving rise to such liability, and for Cobalt such liability shall not exceed the greater of a sum equal to the amount actually paid during the 24 months period prior to the event giving rise to such liability or 1 million $USD, except Cobalt’s obligations as per clause 3.4, 7 and 9.1. Both Parties understand and agree that these liabilities limits reflect the allocation of risk between the Parties and are essential elements of the basis of the bargain, the absence of which would require substantially different economic terms.

This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec, excluding its rules regarding conflicts of law; and

Venue for any dispute hereunder shall be a court of competent jurisdiction located in the City of Montreal, in the Province of Quebec and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.

13.1 As additional protection for Party’s proprietary information, for so long as this Agreement remains in effect, and for one year thereafter, either Party agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit, hire or attempt to solicit any employees of the other Party; provided that a general solicitation to the public for employment is not prohibited under this section.

13.2 Neither Party shall be responsible for performance under this Agreement to the extent precluded by circumstances beyond that Party’s reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, acts of terror, labour problems, computers, telecommunications, Internet service providers or hosting facility failures, or delays involving hardware, software or power systems, and network intrusions or denial of service attacks. The Service delivers information for supported contact paths to public and private networks and carriers, but cannot guarantee delivery of the information to the recipients. Final delivery of information to recipients is dependent on and is the responsibility of the designated public and private networks or carriers. Client acknowledges and agrees that territories outside Canada may have territorial restrictions resulting from applicable law, telecommunications or Internet infrastructure limitations, telecommunications or Internet services provider policies, or communication device customization that may inhibit or prevent the delivery of certain SMS, text or other notifications, or restrict the ability to place or receive certain calls such as outbound toll free calls. Cobalt shall have no liability to the extent such restrictions impede the Service.

13.3 The failure of either Party hereto to enforce at any time any of the provisions or terms of this Agreement shall in no way be considered to be a waiver of such provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is found by any court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall, to the extent required, be deemed deleted or revised, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect to the maximum extent possible so as to give effect to the intent of the parties.

13.4 Neither party may assign this Agreement to any third party except upon the other Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

13.5 Legal notices (i.e., claimed breach or termination) to be provided under this Agreement shall be delivered in writing (a) in person, (b) by nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (c) by registered prepaid post to the other party as set forth on the signature page hereto. All legal notices shall be deemed to have been given upon receipt or, if under (c) two (2) business days after being deposited in the mail. Either party may change its address by giving notice of the new address to the other party pursuant to this Section and identifying the effective date of such change.

13.6 This Agreement is not intended to and does not create rights in favour of any person other than the Parties, save that each Client’s Group Company will be entitled to enforce this Agreement. Client’s Group Company means (i) a parent undertaking of that party; (ii) a subsidiary undertaking of that party; or (iii) a subsidiary undertaking of a parent undertaking of that party; or any company which is a joint venture not wholly-owned or majority-owned (directly or indirectly) by the Client.

13.7 Both Parties understand that it is the policy of both Parties to never tolerate unethical behaviour either in their own activities or in those with whom the Parties seek to do Business. Each Party confirms that its policy shall comply with all applicable laws, statutes, and regulations, relating to anti-bribery and anti-corruption, including but not limited to, the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (Canada).

13.8 Neither Party will tolerate fraud nor dishonest acts. Any fraudulent, dishonest or other such illegal act may be treated as a material breach of this Agreement, if it has a significant impact on the Agreement or the services. Fraud or dishonest acts may include fraud events that could cause damage to a Party’s reputation, regulatory requirements, assets or client servicing relationships. Fraud or dishonest acts may also include: manipulation of records; theft and misappropriation of funds or property; misuse of information, records and equipment; or bribes and inappropriate payments.

13.9 This Agreement, including its Schedules constitute the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all other agreements and understandings between the Parties, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof, including any confidentiality agreements. This Agreement shall not be modified or amended except by a writing signed by both Parties. ANY NEW TERMS OR CHANGES INTRODUCED IN A PURCHASE ORDER OR OTHER DOCUMENT ARE VOID AND OF NO FORCE OR EFFECT. COBALT’S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT OF SUCH DOCUMENT OR ACCEPTANCE OF PAYMENT SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE AGREEMENT TO ANY TERMS OTHER THAN THOSE SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. Any right, obligation or condition that, by its express terms or nature and context is intended to survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement, shall survive any such termination or expiration hereof. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one original document. A copy of the original shall be as effective and enforceable as the original.
